Lightbulb Lotus working with Scion on upcoming sports car?

Anyone heard anything about this? This is from someone on another car forum that owns a Lotus (and a few Italian mid engine toys!) and is big into this stuff.

I cannot imagine it being a FWD car that was developed with Lotus. Could this be the modern AE86 we have all been dreaming about?

It is not at all uncommon for Lotus, Porsche, etc. to work on other companies sportcars, so it is 100% plausible.

Any idea what is going on?

it'd only be for handling..

no WAY would a car company aimed at cars specifically for 16-25 year olds release a stripped car than can rip off 4 sec 0-60 runs..
